Appellant Timothy Ray Philmon pled guilty to aggravated assault. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to support Philmon's guilt, but deferred further proceedings, placed Philmon on community supervision for five years, assessed a $1,000 fine, and ordered Philmon to serve one hundred and eighty days of up front time. On November 30, 2005, the State filed a motion to revoke Philmon's unadjudicated community supervision. Philmon pled "true" to two allegations that he violated the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Philmon violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Philmon's community supervision, found Philmon guilty of aggravated assault, and assessed punishment at nine years of confinement.

Appellate counsel filed a brief that concludes no arguable error is presented in this appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Philmon filed pro se briefs, in which he argues (1) that the trial court abused its discretion in revoking his community supervision because the State failed to meet its burden of proof, and (2) that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion for new trial and in arrest of judgment because the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence.

Philmon's contention that the State failed to meet its burden of proof at the revocation hearing relates to the trial court's decision to adjudicate his guilt. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction over it on direct appeal. See Hogans v. State, 176 S.W.3d 829, 832-34 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, § 5(b) (Vernon 2006). Accordingly, this issue is not an arguable one.

When Philmon pled guilty to aggravated assault, he signed plea papers containing a judicial confession of his guilt of the charged offense. Furthermore, as discussed above, Philmon pled "true" to two allegations contained in the State's motion to revoke his unadjudicated community supervision. Therefore, Philmon's issue asserting that the trial court erred in denying his motion for new trial is not arguable. See id.; Dinnery v. State, 592 S.W.2d 343, 353 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980) (op. on reh'g) ("It is well settled that a judicial confession, standing alone, is sufficient to sustain a conviction upon a guilty plea[.]").

We have reviewed the clerk's record and the reporter's record, and we find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. ⁽¹⁾

AFFIRMED.
